They only disappointment is that the last sound of this video should have been thunderous applause and a standing ovation for an outstanding performance. Bravo!
i was applauding in my living room. Does that help?
I agree, 100%!!!
Exactly my first thought
Totally agree. Maybe they can do it before an audience sometime.
I prefer without thunderous applause, even tho I utterly believe it IS what would follow a full-house performance. BRAVO GENTS, that was BREATHTAKING 😍😍😍
I watched the movie "Rhapsody in Blue" recently. A little sappy, but interesting. The arrangement? Meh.
Then I listened to a recording of George Gershwin playing it - Much Better!
And then, the ultimate piano/orchestra recording - The original "Levant Plays Gershwin". Get the CD. THE arrangement and recording. Oscar Levant played it better than Gershwin! Superb piano/orchestra.
And then here come The Scott Brothers! Man, I hope George and Oscar are listening. A finer tribute to this magnificent piece there never will be. Tom's eloquent and sensual touch on the piano are just - well, magnificent. Oscar Levant reincarnate. Jonathan's arrangement on this excellent instrument never lets the brass overpower the rest of the ensemble.
The Scott Brothers - I'm so glad I lasted this long to be able to hear this!
Sitting here watching this by myself, I very nearly stood and applauded.
You always can tell when Tom is having fun…watch his face.
I think my favorite part of this Duo, is that neither instrument over does the other, they did an excellent job in doing both instruments justice with this piece, and this is by far one of my favorite renditions of Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin is one of my favorites.
Have to give much credit to Tom for excellent audio recording mix. A large pipe organ is a difficult situation to record in the first place. Blending it so well with the piano gives us this wonderful result. All these videos are very well recorded, hats off to Tom
How can you possibly pull this off? Piano and organ are incompatible; classics and jazz are incompatible; but somehow you made a marriage in heaven!
The way you two work together is like you are twins who always know what the other is thinking. Your concerts have been a wonderful bright spot in an otherwise dark year. Thank you for your contribution.
Now THIS is the kind of "Rhap" music we really need!! WOW!!!
I would never have imagined Rhapsody on a organ and piano, but it was fantastic. Will watch again!
What a pair of remarkable musicians.
Gershwin would have been in rhapsody! Nearly 100 yrs old, and this composition is still as fresh and exhilarating.
Being a church organist and sometimes pianist for more than 60 years I can say the two of you have presented an outstanding rendition of this music by Gershwin. Beautiful!!! Thanks so much.
Two of a perfect pair.....
Just BRAVISSIMO 👍👍🙌🙌👍👍
Wow!!...Just...Wow!!!
This performance was totally awesome!
This arrangement is an almost perfect marriage of piano and organ for this piece As wonderful an instrument as the modern piano is, it can't approach the sheer power of a church organ, but the piano also excels in ways that even a great church organ can't touch. A wonderful arrangement and a fantastic performance from both brothers!
My heart is pounding...srunning!!!!
Tears in my eyes, especially during these rural times in Gershwin's birth country. Always interesting to hear how the orchestra is transferred to the organ. This struck the moods so fine. This is a cry of hope for America.
Yesterday I was privileged to hear the brothers play this mighty work and other pieces on the superb organs and piano at East Sussex National hotel. What talent and what entertainment! Brilliant.
One of my most favourite pieces ever. Never thought of hearing it on a pipe organ and piano together. Beautifully done gentlemen, bravo.
Terrific. Bravo. 😀
I sat with arms folded totally prepared NOT to enjoy what I was sure would be a bastardization of this, my favorite of the Gershwin library. But... I'm blown away. First by the mastery and pure artistry of the brothers and also the brilliance of the registrations used on the organ. This solo stops are just divine! Thank you.
Je suis en admiration devant tant de perfection pour ces deux pianistes un grand bravo.qui interprètent Rapsodie in Blue.
Apparently, the very first pianist to play this in concert in the UK was Horace Finch, during his time at Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Horace later went on to become organist of the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool.
What a wonderful blend of instruments loved it.
Magnificent! Bravissimo!!!!!
who needs an orchestra when you have a pipe organ? Exciting rendition!!
APPLAUSE! Mom's favorite. Thanks gents.
Nice to see Tom in front of a keyboard rather than solely behind the camera.
This is an absolutely stunning performance by the two of you.
Do you ever travel to France? I'd love to see you perform in person here.
What a pleasure to see and hear the Scott Brothers, for a change in perfect balance this time! Chapeau to Thomas for his stunning pianist solo skills and Chapeau to Jonathan for his perfect accompaniment and for taking a step back in terms of prominence and volume! Moreover, both of you swing like a rock with perfect sense of groove and rhythm! What about the two of you in gorgeous George´s Piano Concerto in F? Piece of Cake and Exactly your Cup of Tea!
Simply Brilliant !!
Wonderful! We all know how terrific Jonathan is. But I've been listening more closely to Tom. He can really make that piano sing. Thank you Jonathan and Tom.
A truly magical interpretation by such talented musicians !
Per fortuna che non l'ho perso invece l'ho ripescato! Ottimo connubio pianoforte e organo, bravi Maestri e grazie.
BRAVO! Both of you. New York brings out the best in you both: first it was Pietro Yon at the RNCM: now this! Just brilliant.
Wow, absolutely fantastic. Where did those 23 thumbs down come from? What's the matter with these people?
My thoughts, exactly!!!
Absolutely brilliant. What a great rendition, you two are seriously gifted 👏👏👏
Flawless beauty. So much so that tears of joy and appreciation are evoked. The brother team is unmatched! Thank you gentlemen!
THIS NEVER GETS OLD!!!!❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹😁😁😁😁😁
Abosolutly brilliant. Unusual combination of organ & piano. Like only the Scott Brothers can.
I’m sorry but you guys broke the internet!!!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!
Feet, hands & brain at work!
Never thought I needed Rhapsody in blue to be played on the pipe organ but here we are
Woaaaah yessss organ and piano 🎹🎹🎹 best friends making music together
Two happy kids showing off with their toys 😉 I love you, guys🥰 can't wait to hear this live in December.
I am gobsmacked. Bravo! One of the best renditions of Rhapsody in Blue I have ever heard.
Absolutely amazing performance.Lost for words. Jonathan and Tom you are geniuses! Thank you for all your videos.
wonderful. nice to hear it played with balls, too often a sanatized pretty version is played. people forget he was a fairly young and vigorous man and something of a party animal. i have heard his recording of this on a player piano, using a roll cut by Gershwin and your playing fits the bill. adding organ is just sublime. i am constantly fascinated by your dexterity on the pedal board. i can understand your hand dexterity, but marvel at your foot dexterity. it must have taken a great many hours for that to become muscle memory. I have listened to all i can find of your classical pieces the thieving magpie being a particular favorite. thank you for hours of happy listening
Semplicemente stratosferici!!fantastici 👏👏👏👏grazie per queste perle uniche!!
I have saved this video. I have chills from listening to the most outstanding presentation of music I have heard. Masterpiece - Beautiful - Brilliant - Wonderful
I have enjoyed these two playing The Rapsody in Blue over and over. I play it on my phone constantly. I loved how beautifully the organ and piano complemented each other. Congratulations guys on the best version of this piece I have ever heard. You both were/are marvelous. Thank you for your wonderful gifts that each of you have and for sharing with us. God bless both of you.
Wow! Never heard the Rhapsody on the organ. Love it!
Absolutely stunning performance
Wonderful arrangement, superb timing and playing by both. The balance between the piano and organ was just spot on. Another triumph. Thanks to both of you!!
I was just going to say that myself: they did a good job of mixing the two so the piano doesn't disappear behind the organ.
Hi~It's a couple of years later and I've listened to this rendition many, many times, as have members of my family. There is one word that works really for me, and it is BRAVO! This piece is a winner. XX
Genius!! 💖🌹
The best version I've ever ever heard. Congratulations and hats off!
My goodness! What a superb listening experience! Thank you!
wow, this is so well done!
Were this the offertory piece at my church, i'd have no choice but to drop at least 20 quid in the plate.
Here in the US this was used extensively by United Airlines. When I hear it, I have an immediate urge to make sure I have my plane ticket in hand lol.
@@mysock351C This explains so much of what happens when I play this for my friends
@@mysock351C Very interesting comment !
I have been a regular at recitals in Liverpool for over 30 years, but had never heard of the Bridgewater Hall organ or Jonathon Scott.
I only came across him by accident last February.......just my luck, just before the first lockdown !
I only hope I make it to his fist public performance......
Their playing is just jawdropping
Just Brilliant. Thank you both!
My favourite! Great, superb, wonderful. To be heard with closed eyes!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!
The best arrangement of this piece of music I have ever heard. Bravo gentleman, well done.
Unreal ! Never considered this piece done with piano and organ !
Who needs a orchestra? Great arrangement and beautifully played! Thanks.
You guys are too much fun!
BREATHTAKING!!!!!
Gershwin was a genius to come up with a work so astoundingly moving, and the Scott Brothers played it to perfection!
Magnificently performed. All that talent in one family. Thank you for brightening an otherwise depressing year. You are truly appreciated here in the States.
Unbelievably brilliant - congratulations Guys so good. M
Absolutely wonderful! N.S.W. Australia.
What a wonderful rendition of this classic piece by these two amazing virtuosos. Would never have thought it possible in my wildest dreams with piano and organ; George must be smiling!
As usal, magnificent!
Absolutely 🤗. "Shades of Benny Goodman.". This is the most remarkable and phenomenal talent! 😊
I have heard it on piano and theater organ duo many times before but never a classical organ. Man, you pulled all the right stops!!!!!! Best ever both of you.
“…pulled all the right stops.” I saw what you did there! 😁
@@garysandiego Well, there are a couple pulled on the left.
Amazing transcription - the representation of the orchestral textures on the organ is out of this world. As for the performance, it is perfection. Brilliant work, Maestri!! 💜
I played this for my senior recital and now I play the organ at church. Such a gorgeous song and amazing musicians.
What a wonderful way to start the new year!
WOW, excellent concert, greetings from the Kingdom of Spain. 💥💖💥👑
Fantastic! I love how the sounds of the piano and organ mix together, besides both players are so talented, it was a joy listening to this arrangement, this was a good day to go to church!
Bravo! Scott Brothers --
I'm not normally a great fan of church organ, but I'll make an exception for this! What stunning masterery of their respective instruments, and so beautifully recorded, too! Through my studio audio, this is perfection!
Génial bravo un pouce bleu
Bravo - Bravo! Great arrangement and performance!
That had to be some of the best and most well-spent 18 minutes of my life!! Superb!!
Just wow. Bravo
Absolutely fabulous!
A wonderful rendition of this great piece of music.I have been a pianist & organist since the age of five & twelve & greatly admire the way you both coordinate so well.I am still playing at 89!Keep up the good work.
What a treat!
Beautiful playing and ensemble. Thanks, Tom and Jonathan.
Absolutely amazing!
And it's wonderful to see the fun they're both having while playing it :-)
I love Tom's fist pump at 6:28, and all his facial expressions throughout the piece!
BRAVO .... just BRAVO
Magnificent! Marvellous! Superb! Thank you.
Absolutely amazing rendition! You two are always wonderful!
I’ve listened again a year later. And it’s still so beautiful. Thank you
Glorious. Thank you
Beautiful, exciting! I really like to see the two brothers playing together! Congratulations to both and thanks for everything!
Fantastic arrangement
